Today i found three pokemon i didn't have yet. Nidoran male, spheal and gligar. Now the only pokes from the grottoes I'm missing are ditto, nidoran female, poliwhirl, heracross, vulpix and dragonite then all my wants will be gone and i can shiny hunt again

found a female Bibarel on Rt 3 yesterday, after i failed at getting a satisfactory nature after a few resets, i just took whatever it gave me ( think it was serious natured...) i've been having great luck with finding females, but i don't feel like SRing a million times...methinks i need some sychronizers...they do work in the grottoes, don't they?

rode back and forth between the grotto in the outer section of pinwheel forest and the one on route 18 for a few hours last night. found a chatot (so cute) and currently SRing for a jolly/naive bagon with ivs i can bring home to mother. it's male, so no DD moxie outrageousness for me just yet. but still... he should be quite formidable.

i've fooled around with one, but since i did go with a speed nature, my mence doesn't have the power sometimes to get the moxie boost after its first turn in battle. i've got a life orb on it now... putting it out against things i know it can outspeed.

I have spent a good 4 days grinding the route 23 hidden grotto for gligar. I have been biking nonstop and have gotten every pokemon from that grotto multiple times I dont even bother catching them anymore. The only time I got relatively close to catching (or at least seeing one) was when I got a fire stone. Since firestones are like a 1% chance I felt like it was the closest I got to gligar. Has anyone else spent a long time trying to get a pokemon? Did you actually get it?

Also I must say that I am new to the whole competitive pokemon battling. I had no idea what ivs or evs were. I'm guessing when I catch this gligar I should cross my fingers it is female so I can breed it like crazy to get good ivs right? From what I read only 2 stats can be 31 correct? I'm so confuse :s

Every stat can have a 31 IV, but without RNG abuse it's not likely at all (1 in 30,000ish odds iirc). But yes, you can soft-reset for good IVs/nature, although if it's male, it'll never be female through soft-resetting.
